Specifying the display of scrollbars for a form
You can specify whether your form has scrollbars when you run it.
❖ To specify scrollbars for a form:
1 Display the form’s pop-up menu and select Properties.
2 On the General page of the Properties view, select the type of scrollbar you
want.
Specifying pointers for a form
You can specify a particular pointer image to display when the mouse pointer
is over a specific area of a form.
❖ To change the mouse pointer used while running the form:
1 Position the pointer over the element of the form whose pointer you want
to define, display the pop-up menu, and select Properties.
You can set a pointer for the entire form and for specific controls.
2 Select the Pointer page in the Properties view.
3 Choose the pointer from the Pointers list, or, if you have files containing
pointer definitions (CUR files), enter a pointer file name.
You can use the Browse button to search for the file.
Modifying text in a form
When InfoMaker initially generates the basic form, it uses the following:
• For the text and alignment of column headings and labels, InfoMaker uses
the column’s extended attributes—definitions created in the Database
painter.
• For fonts, InfoMaker uses the properties of the table—definitions created
in the Database painter.
You can override any of these defaults in a particular form.
